In Brussels today, the research of the European Health Consumer Index (EchI) for 2014 has been presented today where Serbia has still been at the bottom of the European ladders when it comes to health protection quality, ranking 33, out of 37 countries.

With 473 scores out of maximal 1000, compared to 2013, Serbia progressed for one place.

The Netherlands is still at the top of the list with 898 od out of maximal 1000, followed by Switzerland, Norway, Finland and Denmark.

The research leader, Arne Bjorberg, estimated in Brussels that results reflect “gloomy everyday life” of health protection in Serbia while the minister of health, Zlatibor Loncar, thanked to the employees in health sector for progressing one place and expressed expectations that “these results will be an incentive for more quality work”.
